S Is For Smoothie

I'm taking you on a journey from A to Z through the land of dairy! 
There's no need to pack your bags, just come along!
  S Is For Smoothie

March, 2001- I was in Hawaii, accompanying 250 high school kids, including daughter Sara, on a choir performance trip. The trip was filled with concerts, beautiful sites, gorgeous sandy beaches, and SMOOTHIES! Yes, I tasted my first smoothie on the beaches of Hawaii. Purchased from a cute little stand, it was the most refreshing drink I could imagine. Now, 12 years later, I still think they are wonderfully refreshing. Try one of these and see if you agree...
